1002 GMT - Demand in the sterling corporate bonds market is falling as investors prefer to invest instead in U.K. government bonds where there are tax benefits, Barclays analysts say in a note. "The tax advantages of low-cash-price gilts makes them hard to beat as an investment for households paying the top rate of income tax," the analysts say. The tax benefits are diverting retail investments into the gilt market and away from corporate bonds where there are no such benefits, Barclays says. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
